Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Sort Objects problem in Directory Server Console

[Renato Ribeiro da Silva]

I've made more tests with the Console and the problem is not related to use numbers in
attribute uid. Sorry.
The problem is that when I click in "sort objects" the console doesn't sort
by "uid" but by "cn" attribute. I need to sort by the uid attribute.

Thanks,
Renato.

That's a missing feature in the console - it can only sort by cn.

A workaround might be to try ldapbrowser to view the fds contents ?
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html
In my openldap, I can sort the entries by the users name, but again, it 
is probably actually by cn with the cn being username and full name.
